All routes
Every service the two operators publish, grouped by which way it leaves Rhodes Town. 48 of them, from a bus every twenty minutes to a bus every Monday. 10 have a full route page so far; the rest are listed because they are reachable, not because we have written them up yet.
East coast
The busy side, and almost all of it KTEL Rodou. Everything from Rhodes Town down past Faliraki and Lindos to the southern tip, on the corridor most visitors use.
| Destination | Operator | Fare | Departures a day | Last back |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lindos Λίνδος | KTEL Rodou | €6.00 | 21 out / 20 back | 21:45 |
| Faliraki Φαληράκι | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 24 out / 20 back | 22:25 |
| RODA’s line 40 also reaches Faliraki, more often and from a different stand. This row is the KTEL coastal service only. | ||||
| Tsambika Beach Τσαμπίκα Παραλία | KTEL Rodou | €4.00 | 5 out / 2 back | 18:00 |
| Five buses out and only two back, at 16:20 and 18:00. This is the beach stop, not the crossroad on the main road above it: they are different stops with different fares, and the crossroad has twenty-one returns to this stop’s two. Do not treat the two rows as interchangeable — turning up at the wrong one after 18:00 means no bus. | ||||
| Tsambika crossroad Τσαμπίκα | KTEL Rodou | €3.30 | 20 out / 21 back | 22:10 |
| The stop is up on the main road, not at the beach — a walk down, and a longer one back up. KTEL do not publish the distance, so we do not state one: the figure quoted around the internet traces to a design placeholder rather than to any operator document. | ||||
| Kolymbia Beach Κολύμπια Παραλία | KTEL Rodou | €4.00 | 16 out / 14 back | 20:15 |
| Kolymbia crossroad Κολύμπια | KTEL Rodou | €2.80 | 15 out / 18 back | 21:10 |
| The newest sheet KTEL have published for this stop expired on 15 June 2026 and has not been replaced. Treat the fare and the times as the last published edition rather than as current, and check at the stand. | ||||
| Archangelos Αρχάγγελος | KTEL Rodou | €3.50 | 13 out / 17 back | 22:05 |
| Afantou Αφάντου | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 12 out / 17 back | 22:20 |
| Kiotari Κιοτάρι | KTEL Rodou | €7.50 | 15 out / 16 back | 21:05 |
| Gennadi Γεννάδι | KTEL Rodou | €7.50 | 15 out / 16 back | 21:00 |
| Pefkos Πεύκοι | KTEL Rodou | €6.50 | 15 out / 16 back | 21:20 |
| Prasonisi Πρασονήσι | KTEL Rodou | €11.00 | 2 out / 2 back | 16:00 |
| A day trip or nothing: two buses each way. The 13:00 return leaves Prasonisi before the 13:00 from Rhodes Town gets there, so the only workable pairs are 09:00 out with 13:00 or 16:00 back, or 13:00 out with 16:00 back. | ||||
| Seven Springs Επτά Πηγές | KTEL Rodou | €4.00 | 1 out / 1 back | 14:00 |
| One bus each way. Miss the 14:00 back and there is no later one. | ||||
| Kalathos Καλαθός | KTEL Rodou | €5.40 | 21 out / 20 back | 21:50 |
| Lardos Λάρδος | KTEL Rodou | €6.20 | 10 out / 6 back | 18:45 |
| These are the village-stop returns from the master timetable. A separate current KTEL sheet for Lardos Beach prints sixteen returns between 08:15 and 21:15 for a place it also calls ΛΑΡΔΟΣ. KTEL do not say which stop is which, so the two lists are not merged here — ask at the stand which one you are standing at. | ||||
| Haraki Χαράκι | KTEL Rodou | €4.90 | 2 out / 2 back | 15:45 |
| Two buses each way, and the last one back is at 15:45. Haraki ↔ Lindos is priced separately at €2.80. | ||||
| Stegna Στεγνά | KTEL Rodou | €4.40 | 1 out / 1 back | 08:30 |
| Morning return only — nothing back after 08:30. One bus each way, neither of them on a Sunday: the single outbound leaves at 14:30 and the single return left six hours earlier, so you cannot go out and come back the same day. | ||||
| Ladiko / Anthony Quinn Bay Λαδικό | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 5 out / 4 back | 17:45 |
| Mantomata Μαντωμάτα | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 11 out / 10 back | 17:15 |
| Oasis / Lippia / Iris | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 23 out / 16 back | 20:25 |
| The Faliraki hotel strip, not the village centre. | ||||
| Plimmiri Πλημμύρι | KTEL Rodou | €8.60 | 3 out / 4 back | 16:10 |
| Malona Μάλωνα | KTEL Rodou | €4.10 | 4 out / 5 back | 14:45 |
| Morning-and-early-afternoon only: the last bus back is at 14:45. | ||||
| Massari Μασσάρι | KTEL Rodou | €4.30 | 4 out / 5 back | 14:40 |
| Morning-and-early-afternoon only: the last bus back is at 14:40. | ||||
| Kalithies Καλυθιές | KTEL Rodou | €2.50 | 8 out / 9 back | 18:40 |
| Not Kallithea — Kalithies is the inland village, Kallithea is the spa on the coast, and confusing them puts you on the wrong bus. The 12:00 and 13:30 departures do not run on Sundays. | ||||
| Psinthos Ψίνθος | KTEL Rodou | €2.80 | 1 out / 2 back | 15:00 |
| One bus out, at 14:20. The 07:15 back runs Monday to Friday only, which leaves the 15:00 as the single return at weekends. | ||||
| Laerma Λαέρμα | KTEL Rodou | €7.10 | 1 out / 1 back | 06:50 |
| Morning return only — nothing back after 06:50. Weekdays only, one bus each way, and the single return leaves more than six hours before the single outbound. This is a service for residents, not a day trip. | ||||
| Kallithea Springs Πηγές Καλλιθέας | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| Both operators pass Kallithea — RODA’s line 40 runs Rhodes – Kallithea Avenue – Faliraki, and KTEL sell onward journeys from Kallithea Avenue — but neither publishes a Rhodes ↔ Kallithea fare in any 2026 document, and neither prints a timetable for Kallithea as a destination in its own right. Use the line 40 times below. | ||||
West coast
The airport side, and Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ territory. Frequent as far as Kremasti and the airport, then thinning fast: several of the mountain villages have one bus a day, and two of them run only on Mondays. The return departure is what decides the trip out here.
| Destination | Operator | Fare | Departures a day | Last back |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rhodes Airport ⇄ Faliraki (line 25) | KTEL Rodou | €3.50 | 16 out / 16 back | 23:30 |
| The direct airport link, and the one KTEL service that never calls at Rhodes Town. “Out” here is Faliraki → Airport; “back” is Airport → Faliraki, whose last departure is 23:30. For Rhodes Town to the airport you want RODA instead. KTEL’s two documents disagree on the start date — 4 May on the line sheet, 6 July in the master timetable — but both print the same end date. | ||||
| Ixia & Ialysos Ιξιά / Ιαλυσός | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 59 out / 49 back | 00:55 |
| The busiest corridor RODA run, and one of only two that go on past midnight. | ||||
| Kremasti Κρεμαστή | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 59 out | 00:50 |
| Shares its outbound clock times with the Ixia and Ialysos corridor on the same sheet. | ||||
| Rhodes Airport (Diagoras) Αεροδρόμιο Διαγόρας | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 45 out / 39 back | 00:45 |
| This is the airport bus, and it is RODA’s, not KTEL’s — KTEL’s own stop map has no airport stop on it at all. It leaves from the West Coast Central Station. Buses run from 05:15 until midnight out and until 00:45 back, seven days a week; the Saturday and Sunday sheets differ in detail from the weekday figures shown here. | ||||
| Paradisi Παραδείσι | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 19 out | 00:20 |
| Pastida & Maritsa Παστίδα / Μαριτσά | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 8 out | 21:50 |
| Eight departures on the weekday sheet, six on Saturday and four on Sunday. | ||||
| Damatria Δαματριά | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 2 out / 1 back | 07:40 |
| Morning return only — nothing back after 07:40. Two buses out, one back, weekdays only; the corridor does not appear on the Saturday or Sunday sheets at all, and the single return leaves before either outbound run. | ||||
| Theologos (Tholos) Θεολόγος | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 13 out / 13 back | 00:15 |
| Soroni Σορωνή | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 9 out / 9 back | 23:00 |
| Fanes Φάνες | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 7 out / 7 back | 23:00 |
| Seven departures are printed on the weekday sheet. Sunday drops to four. | ||||
| Kalavarda Καλαβάρδα | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 7 out / 7 back | 23:00 |
| Sunday drops to four departures. | ||||
| Salakos Σάλακος | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 2 out / 2 back | 16:00 |
| Weekdays only — Salakos does not appear on the Saturday or Sunday sheets. Two buses each way, and the last one back leaves at 16:00. | ||||
| Apollona, Dimylia, Eleousa & Platania Απόλλωνα / Διμυλιά / Ελεούσα / Πλατάνια | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 1 out / 1 back | 07:30 |
| Morning return only — nothing back after 07:30. One bus a day each way, weekdays only, and the return leaves six hours before the outbound. You cannot go and come back the same day on this service. | ||||
| Empona (Embonas) Έμπωνα | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 1 out / 1 back | 07:00 |
| Morning return only — nothing back after 07:00, or 07:30 on Mondays, when a second return runs. One bus out a day, weekdays only, absent from the Saturday and Sunday sheets, and every return leaves long before the 13:30 outbound arrives. | ||||
| Mandriko, Kritinia & Kamiros Skala Μανδρικό / Κρητηνία / Κάμειρος Σκάλα | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 1 out / 1 back | 07:25 |
| Kamiros Skala is the harbour, not the archaeological site — Ancient Kamiros is a different place several kilometres away. Morning return only: nothing back after 07:25, or 08:00 on Mondays, when a second return marked ΜΟΝΟ ΚΑΘΕ ΔΕΥΤΕΡΑ (“only every Monday”) runs. One bus out a day, weekdays only. | ||||
| Monolithos, Siana & Agios Isidoros Μονόλιθος / Σιάννα / Άγ. Ισίδωρος | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 1 out / 1 back | 06:40 |
| Mondays only, in both directions, and a morning return only — nothing back after 06:40, which is seven hours before the bus out. The corridor is absent from the Saturday and Sunday sheets entirely. | ||||
| Butterfly Valley (Petaloudes) Κοιλάδα Πεταλούδων | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 3 out / 3 back | 15:45 |
| Three buses each way, at the same times every day of the week, and the last one back leaves at 15:45. The August 2026 sheets carry no validity window, and whether the service runs between October and April is not established by any document we have. | ||||
| Ancient Kamiros Αρχαία Κάμειρος | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | Not published | Not published |
| The one corridor where we can tell you less than we would like. RODA’s last published fare table priced Ancient Kamiros, but no current timetable sheet lists it as a destination — the nearby service that does run is to Kamiros Skala, the harbour, which is not the same place. Whether the archaeological site is served by bus at all in 2026 is unverified. Ask at the West Coast Central Station before you commit a day to it. | ||||
City network
Rhodes Town itself, plus the one line that runs east to Kallithea and Faliraki. Published by the Municipality of Rhodes rather than on an operator site of its own.
| Destination | Operator | Fare | Departures a day | Last back |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| City line 3 — 7ης Μαρτίου ⇄ Mandraki Γραμμή Πόλης 3 | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 15 out | Not published |
| A 60-minute loop rather than an out-and-back, which is why there is no return column: it ends where it starts. The 06:30 run diverts to the hospital every day of the week, and the departures marked ΚΟΣΚΙΝΟΥ extend to Koskinou, returning at 09:00, 14:00 and 20:55 on weekdays. Saturday runs twelve departures, Sunday eight. | ||||
| City line 6 — 7ης Μαρτίου ⇄ hospital ⇄ Mandraki Γραμμή Πόλης 6 | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 17 out | Not published |
| The hospital loop, also 60 minutes. The operator’s own PDF prints 06:30 above 05:30 in the weekday column, so read it as a set of departures rather than an ordered list — the earliest one printed is 05:30. Saturday runs fifteen departures, Sunday eight. | ||||
| Line 40 — Kallithea Avenue & Faliraki Γραμμή 40 | Δ.Ε.Σ. ΡΟΔΑ | Not published | 51 out / 51 back | 00:40 |
| The one frequent bus on the island: fifty-one departures each way, seven days a week, roughly every twenty minutes from early morning until midnight. The sheet carries no validity dates, and the 2025 edition ran Monday to Friday from 16:00 only — so treat the current pattern as this summer’s, not as permanent. Both the Municipality and KTEL publish an identical-looking sheet for this line; we follow the Municipality in listing it as a RODA service. | ||||
Why there is no journey time and no frequency
Those two columns used to be here and both were entirely dashes, so we took them out. Neither operator publishes a journey duration for any corridor on Rhodes — not one, in the whole archive of timetables behind this page, and a search across every KTEL PDF for the word for "minutes" returns nothing. The only published run time on the island is the 60 minutes printed on the city-lines sheet for the two Rhodes Town loops.
Nor does either operator publish a frequency. They publish a list of clock times, which is a different and more useful thing. So the column here counts that list: "21 out / 20 back" means the timetable prints twenty-one departures from Rhodes Town and twenty back. Where the intervals happen to be regular — line 40 is every twenty minutes from eight in the morning — that is our reading of the list rather than something the operator wrote down, so we do not print it as a figure. A dash, or a "not published", means the operator does not publish it. It never means the service does not exist.
